N5017N, 1945 Lockheed/Vega (Boeing) B-17G-105-VE Flying Fortress C/N 8649, Photo of N5017N taken at an airport near Dothan, Al. 1969.  Note B-17 was rigged with spray bar, and I understand it was use to spray for fire ants in the South in the late 1960's.  During this time, I was in Army flight school at near by Fort Rucker.
